But despite the heavy demand for firearms, as the Obama administration examines measures to reduce gun violence in the wake of a deadly school shooting in Connecticut, owner Gary Metcalfe said he's still got 65 guns in stock.

He's also got quite a bit of ammunition, as well.

Some items are on back order, but Metcalfe said that's not unusual for this time of year.

"Most manufacturers and distributors shut down between Christmas and New Year's because you got Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, and they shut down, (and) a lot of them do inventory stuff, too," Metcalfe said.

A large gun show this month in Las Vegas has also added to the demand, he said.

"Every year we have the shot shows and stuff and everything, they need to get the orders filled out, promotions and stuff, it just takes a while sometimes, until about March, to get our product," he said. "Does it every year."

But at least one area law enforcement officer claims the high demand is making it difficult for his department to get the weapons and supplies they need.

"We're getting calls, we're getting, there's nowhere that I don't go that people aren't concerned about they can't get guns, and they're saying is it true that you can't get bullets and weapons, and I said it's very difficult," said Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones. "We ordered three rifles about three weeks ago, and they're going to have to wait until they're manufactured."

But representatives from other local departments said their ammunition supply wasn't an issue because they ordered a year in advance.
